How can you trust an article that doesn't even mention the most popular IDEs. Netbeans, eclipse and IDEA.

I cant not agree to any ranking that doest not even think to include "Eclipse" and "IntelliJ IDEA". Seems like it has been funded by the the companies that are agains Eclipse and IDEA. *cough* *cough*

Is the reason that these IDEs is free?

hey, what's wrong if the author took up four IDEs and compared them? He doesn't say that Eclipse is bad or that IDEA is bad.  
 
Why are Eclipse and IDEA guys so insecure that on all forums on all sites, they have to keep saying that Eclipse / IDEA is the best.  
 
If the article writer has written something wrong, counter that. Which IDEs he chooses to try out and compare, is his prerogative.

You're right that he can review whatever IDE's he wants. However, he is doing a disservice to his readers by not including the two most influential/popular IDE's in the Java world. As a reader, why even read it? I certainly wouldn't make a decision to buy an IDE based on a review that didn't include Eclipse and IDEA especially when they are the standards bearers that everything is compared to.

I think is Idea

The author hasnt mentioned on what criterias has he compared the different IDE's.

Not sure what constitutes being a standard-bearer if IDEA (a good, but decidedly lightweight IDE) and Eclipse (a decent platform, but an IDE requiring significant money spent on plugins & time on bludgeoning it into shape) are now standard-bearers for serious enterprise IDEs.  
 
Not sure what constitutes "influential" or "popular" when neither of these tools has consistently won significant "editor's choice" or "developer's choice" type awards for enterprise Java development. (Of the IDE's mentioned, JBuilder seems to have the most consistent wins in these categories, but I could be wrong.) 
 
Eclipse and IDEA can only be appreciated on their own merits, not when judged by irrelevant standards. I'm glad this reviewer compared apples to apples.
